GRANITE STATE PUNK - FINAL IS HERE!!
My friends this is the end. Soon, i will see you all again!!! BYE, BYE
Hey everyone,
Today, I’m writing to let you all know that Granite State Punk is coming to an end. (Kinda but not really) It’s bittersweet to say that out loud because this series has been such a labor of love for me. It’s not just a comic—it’s a piece of my soul, my love letter to New Hampshire, and a reflection of what made me the person i am. All my grit, energy and worth are displayed on the pages.
However, the next issue GRANITE STATE PUNK: LIVE FREE OR DIE! (FORMALLY CALLED THE PILGRAM) It will be the end of the first arc and kind of an ending for VOLUME 1!! This is a big deal and I know many of you guys have come on this journey with me for a while but all things must come to a end. The book will look very different after this issue. When it returns it will be different and i am giving you the ending to remember. I cant wait to take you for a ride but dont just take my word for it lets hear from the artist himself PATRICK!
The last issue very special issue is about to launch on KICKSTARTER.

This story has been a wild ride from the very beginning. As many of you know this book was suppose to just be a single ONE-SHOT but it gained a life of its own. When I first set out to create Granite State Punk, I wanted to tell a tale steeped in the folklore, history, and raw edge of New England, and you all have embraced it with open arms. I am sure many of you have never been to NH but now you know it well. Whether it was discovering hdead witches, learning about the old man, confronting personal demons, or diving into the chaos of punk rebellion, the journey has been not stop. When i make a issue of GRANITE STATE PUNK. I think what would be a good 4 issue mini-series and then i tell it in ONE ISSUE.
To finally closing out volume is a proud moment. We are now at WAY over 100 pages of ZEKE PUNK GOODNESS. So, this is the last SINGLE ISSUE!! Can i count on your to ROCK OUT with me one more time.
As a thank you, after this book is in your mailbox. I’m putting together a Granite State Punk trade paperback later in the year with some cool stuff that will include everything from the series, some behind-the-scenes looks, and something special—a soundtrack that embodies the spirit of the book. (You can thank my obsession with mixing music and comics for that!) The trade will feature 6-10 bands from New Hampshire/New England, with a QR code in the back so you can listen along.
To everyone who supported this series, backed it on Kickstarter, grabbed a copy or just shared the word—thank you. You made this journey unforgettable.
This isn’t goodbye; it’s just the end of this chapter. Stay tuned for what’s next, and don’t forget—punk’s not dead. Neither are ZEKE stories but you do not want to miss this ending!!!
LIVE FREE OR DIE
